Abstract
In our days the majority of patients with advanced osteoarthritis secondary to congenital hip disease are treated with total hip replacement. However, this operation must be reserved for selected patients and performed by experienced surgeons familiar with this type of procedure. In this chapter, the indications of total hip replacement and the value of preoperative assessment are presented. The surgeon should be preoperatively informed of the type of the deformity in order to be prepared for the method, instruments and implants that will be used.
